Educação a distância na rede pública do estado de São Paulo: método pedagógico que melhora a atuação do professor no mundo digital?

Abstract

The present work explores an alternative to improve the performance of the teacher as mediator of the teaching-learning process in the current context of cyberculture, through the use of distance education platforms. For this, we use as reference the virtual learning environment of the "Paulo Renato Costa Souza" (AVA-EFAP) training and improvement school for teachers in the state of São Paulo. To analyze this environment, we will use the AVA-EFAP user guide, information obtained from the EFAP website, as well as the Quantity and Quality work, the latter being an official analysis of the EAD in the preparation of teachers from the state of São Paulo. Regulations were also collected for courses offered by the State Department of Education of São Paulo (SEESP). All our analysis will be based on the concept of digital literacy (LD) within a historical-cultural psychological perspective of Lev Vigotsky, as a way of verifying the formative potential of this EAD platform in order to qualify teachers. Through these instruments we intend to reflect on the continuing education and digital inclusion (ID) of the teacher inserted in his / her work environment.
